It is where he wrote his acclaimed novel “Falconer” and one of his renowned short stories, “The Swimmer.” It is where he and his wife, Mary, who died at 95 in April, entertained other literary giants, including Philip Roth and Saul Bellow, on broad verandas and terraces. And it is where, seven years before his death in 1982, he stopped drinking and subsequently won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. “He just loved the whole house and when he first bought it, he couldn’t sleep because he was convinced that it would be taken away,” said his daughter, Susan Cheever, who was in her final year of boarding school in Vermont when her parents purchased the house in 1961 for $37,000.
“That was a lot of money in those days,” Ms. Lowcountry ruins still 'sort of half way to heaven' Contrary to popular belief, I was not there when Prince William's Parish Church opened its giant wooden doors in the 1750s.
But I did attend the annual service at its elegant brick ruins this month. The outdoor gathering on the second Sunday after Easter has been a Lowcountry staple since 1925. What we call the Old Sheldon Church stands near Gardens Corner in northern Beaufort County. Its ruins on a tree-shrouded byway near U.S. 21 quietly stand witness to tales of war and peace, feast and famine, of biblical proportions. The church was built with rice money and slave hands. It was burned when neighbor turned against neighbor in the American Revolution. The church was stripped to its brick walls after the Civil War.

To write an autobiography, one must be able to consult one’s past. But what happens when that history is obliterated? The experience of such loss and the hard-won reclamation of identity form the bases of two new books. One is by a young man whose amnesia was a side effect of a prescribed medication. The other is by a young woman who sustained a devastating head wound.

Vivian Maier and the Hidden History of Women’s Photography. Vivian Maier took about 150,000 pictures during her lifetime, but never showed a single one to another living soul.
When she died in April 2009, Vivian was remembered as a beloved nanny by the then-grown children who rescued her from homelessness and took care of her in her later years. Maier’s collection of negatives (most of which were never printed) was already being scattered to the winds after she failed to pay rent on her storage unit two years earlier.
